On a serious note... prayers needed

12-30-2012, 12:47 AM

On a very serious note for a minute...

I'd really appreciate any and all prayers that you feel like offering up for my cousin who was just diagnosed with pancreatic, liver, duodenum and perhaps stomach cancer. Her name is Nianne and she is only 5 years older than me. My dad died of pancreatic cancer that had spread to his liver back in 1999 so this is hitting very close to home and is very hard to take. To complicate things even more, she has 4 adopted children and is a single mom. My aunt (her mom) sums it up well when she said "We and she pray, believing in the possibility of a miracle healing, even while making the many decisions necessary when facing this with four adopted children in the mix." So if you're the praying type then we could really use some prayers right now.

And mods/admins - this thread isn't meant to be overly religious or against any forum rules... it is simply a request from a forum member who would appreciate some help right now. Thanks!

Prayers sent, man.

Modern science is based on the principle "Give us one free miracle, and we will explain the rest" and the one free miracle is the appearance of all matter and energy in the universe, and all the laws that govern it from nothing in a single instant

Well I made it up to my mom's and I'm happy to report that they are doing well considering whatthey went through last Saturday. Mom came home from the hospital the next day and, while beingvery bruised and sore, is doing pretty well. My sister is also very blessed... she pulled a hunk ofwood about the size of a hot dog out of her hair in the ER. It was from the tree that they slammedinto (see the pics to see what it did to the driver's side). It is amazing her head wasn't crushed onimpact. All she got was a bad headache, a cut on her ear, and some bruising. I'll let the picturestell the story... but God was certainly watching out for them that day!

And in other good news...My cousin is still with us and has actually shown some signs of getting a little stronger...so we continue to pray and watch how this all plays out.

Prayer Update - Thanks to everyone who has been praying for my cousin in WV battling cancer. I flew up here yesterday to see her and the family... brrrr very cold (about zero last night and 21 for a high today... compared with 71 today back home in FL... yikes!)

But on a serious note, please continue to pray for her and our family. Things don't look good at all (the Dr. says she won't be coming home from the hospital this time) but we know that God can do anything so we leave it in His hands and trust that He has everyone's best interests at heart in the long run. Thank you for your continued prayers.
